This review presents the state of the art in strain and ripple-induced effects on the electronic
and optical properties of graphene. It starts by providing the crystallographic description of …

This is an update of a previous review (Naumis et al 2017 Rep. Prog. Phys. 80 096501).
Experimental and theoretical advances for straining graphene and other metallic, insulating …

Despite the potential of graphene for building a variety of quantum photonic devices, its
centrosymmetric nature forbids the observation of second harmonic generation (SHG) for …

Two-dimensional atomic crystals can radically change their properties in response to
external influences, such as substrate orientation or strain, forming materials with novel …

This book provides a state of the art report of the knowledge accumulated in graphene
research. The fascination with graphene has been growing very rapidly in recent years and …

It is quite easy to control spin polarization and the spin direction of a system via magnetic
fields. However, there is no such direct and efficient way to manipulate the valley …

Flatbands play an important role in correlated quantum matter and have promising
applications in photonic lattices. Synthetic magnetic fields and destructive interference in …

Predictive modeling of two-dimensional (2D) materials is at the crossroad of two current
rapidly growing interests: 2D materials per se, massively sought after and explored in …

Coupling together distinct correlated and topologically nontrivial electronic phases of matter
can potentially induce novel electronic orders and phase transitions among them. Transition …

We report the realization of a synthetic magnetic field for photons and polaritons in a
honeycomb lattice of coupled semiconductor micropillars. A strong synthetic field is induced …
